Very Nice

"Very Nice", also commonly known by its Korean title "Aju Nice" (아주 Nice; Aju Naiseu), is a song by South Korean boy group Seventeen. It was released as the lead single from the reissue of their debut studio album Love & Letter on July 4, 2016. Despite initially peaking at only 22 on South Korea's Gaon Chart and winning no music show awards, "Very Nice" is now considered to be one of Seventeen's signature songs and has placed in multiple lists of best K-Pop songs domestically and internationally.

"Pretty U" came about after I kept thinking and thinking and thinking, but I think "Very Nice" was decided on from the time it was a guide. I was thinking about changing it because it was a guide, but then I said, "it's 'Very Nice', isn't it?"

On April 26, 2016, Seventeen released their first studio album Love & Letter, having debuted the year earlier. "Pretty U", the lead single for Love & Letter earned the group their first win on a music show, with two consecutive wins at Show Champion.

On June 25, Seventeen announced the reissue of their first studio album, to be released on July 4. The tracklist was released on July 27, with "Very Nice" serving as the lead single. A teaser for the music video was released on July 1.

"Very Nice" was written by Seventeen members Woozi, S.Coups, and Vernon, alongside regular Seventeen collaborator Bumzu, and was composed by Woozi and Bumzu. Speaking about the track, Bumzu stated that he had worked on it for 48 hours, only speaking to Woozi during that time. He also mentioned that S.Coups proposed the idea of using the phrase "Very Nice".

The song has been described as a "high-octane anthem", with the use of "circus-like horns, ramped-up crowd cheers, and even random slurping noises". It was written in the key of D♯ minor with a tempo of 122 beats per minute.

The music video was released on the same day as the album release, July 4, and was directed by South Korean video production company Digipedi, whom Seventeen previously worked with for the music video of "Q&A" with Ailee. It depicts the group experiencing the exciting phase of liking someone during their youth, with scenes at a school, a basketball court, and a boxing ring. Throughout the video, confetti and flower petals explode from the members, portraying the intensity of adolescent love. In the dance scenes, the group wears white shirts with suspenders, with "upbeat" and "well-coordinated" choreography, which Hoshi and the members took part in creating.
